Opinion of "first past the post"

[Linus Van Pelt]

Negative.

Not as negative as it used to be, though. I used to be really in favour of PR, thinking it straightforwardly more democratic. But what I came to realize more is that political power, or the ability to actually implement your program, isn't really a precise quantity that's distributed within a legislature in proportion to the seat count. And if political power isn't proportional to seats, it's not so clearly undemocratic for seats not to be proportional to votes.
